Topic: Issues with Neighbouring Tenants and Marijuana

rhastie

We are renting in a multi-unit building in Toronto.

For the past few months we have been having issues with neighbouring tenants smoking marijuana, which floods the corridors and enters our unit under the front door.

Management has been moderately responsive, providing guards/weatherstripping for our door, and sending letters out to tenants, but the smell continues to enter our unit once every few days.

We have put in a request to transfer units.

What are our rights in this situation?

All the readily available units have just been renovated, with a market price about $500 more than what we pay.

Can we negotiate?

Can we ask to have our moving costs covered?

All information would be much appreciated.
